Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. She just continued to scoop out the dumplings in the pot to prevent them from overcooking.
Lin Chaoyan then carried the bowl to the big room to eat while Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen remained in the kitchen.
Jiang Yanshen ate two dumplings and suddenly frowned. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, lowered his head, and vomited something into his palm.
Lin Qingqian turned her head and saw the brand new coin in his palm. “This is one of our family’s customs. It is to hide a coin in the dumpling and whoever bites it this year will have countless good luck.”
After saying that, she looked at him with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. “If
Auntie finds out that you found the coin she hid, she will definitely be furious.”
What kind of luck was this? He had gotten it after only eating the third dumpling.
In the past, she would have eaten until her stomach was full and still fail to find it.
Hearing her say this, Jiang Yanshen looked down at the coin in his palm and looked around. In the end, he wiped the coin on his body. After wiping his saliva, he handed it to her. “This is for you.” And I give you all my good fortune.
Surprise appeared in Lin Qingqian’s eyes. “No need...”
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen had already stuffed the coin into her palm. “If you say that you found it, Auntie won’t be angry with me.”
Lin Qingqian’s clear eyes moved from his gaze to the coin in her palm, as if it was still stained with his smell. For a moment, an inexplicable feeling lingered between the two of them.
It was as if the two of them had a secret that only each other knew. The feeling of keeping a secret made their hearts slowly approach each other.
“Ahem...” A cough suddenly sounded at the door. Lin Chaoyan rolled her eyes at the two of them. “If you don’t want to eat, get out!”
Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen averted their gazes at the same time and walked to the side with their bowls.
Lin Chaoyan then walked in to scoop the dumplings.
There was a coin hidden in Lin Qingqian’s palm that was holding the bowl. She subconsciously looked at the man near the door from the corner of her eye.
Coincidentally, Jiang Yanshen also looked at her. The moment his gaze met hers, Lin Qingqian quickly lowered her eyes and pretended that nothing had happened.
Jiang Yanshen then lowered his eyes without a trace and the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily.
After Old Master Lin passed away, the relatives of the Lin family did not visit often. In addition, there were rumors in the village that Lin Qingqian was not liked by her in-laws in the big city, so no relatives were willing to interact with them.
Thus, Lin Chaoyan was usually alone during the New Year and was used to peace and quiet.
On the other hand, Lin Qingqian felt a little uncomfortable. After marrying Jiang Yanshen, Auntie had been spending the New Year alone. How lonely was she?
The others in the village didn’t come, but the children were willing to come because Lin Qingqian gave them candy,
When Jiang Yanshen saw the children, he gave them the red packets he had prepared in advance.
Lin Qingqian asked, “Why did you think of preparing red packets?” He had never cared about these etiquettes and customs before.
Jiang Yanshen looked at the child who had received the red packet and was happily running home, leaving a series of footprints on the snow. His thin lips curled up slightly. “Grandma said that I have to give red packets whenever I see children.
Lin Qingqian’s eyebrows twitched slightly as her gaze landed on the thick stack of red packets in his hand. “So you prepared a stack?”
Jiang Yanshen blinked. “Not enough?”
“Enough!”
Jiang Yanshen thought for a moment and asked, “You want one too?”
“No, thank you.” Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. “I just suddenly thought of words that fit the occasion.”
Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. “What words?”
Lin Qingqian glanced sideways at him, and the curve of her lips became thicker. She enunciated each word clearly, “Dumb, Rich, People.”
Jiang Yanshen:
